Faith No More to add more UK dates?
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 23 April 2009
So, when it was announced that Faith No More’s only UK show on their European reunion tour would be at Download, it was a bit of a kick in the balls for the newly launched rival rock festival Sonisphere. Now though, Download might be about to get a quick thwack on the knackers too.
Yesterday the Reading and Leeds festivals were added to the tour dates section on the Faith No More website. Later in the day, bassist Billy Gould said via Twitter: “I didn’t want to post this until it was 100% confirmed, but because the demand has been so high, we’re going to come back for more UK dates. Reading 28 Aug… Leeds 30 Aug”.
However, there is a twist in this story. Shortly afterwards, Gould announced: “I’m getting conflicting info. At the moment agent will not confirm. Dates are off fnm.com site now”.
The band are still not confirmed for the twin festivals, which may have something to do with the fact that organisers of the not-yet-sold-out Download, Live Nation, also own half of Reading and Leeds organisers Festival Republic.
